Re: Waterfalls a New Journey... MD by Pat_Update # 219

Hi Pat, first. thanks for stopping by Steven's Point. I thought It only fitting that I visit your city in return. The waterfalls photos are looking great. Are those waterfalls going to be a mod or lot? just curious. . Anyways, Keep Up The Great Work!

[tooheys]

Well Pat that is certainly different and I'll be interested to see where you go with this. How does the water flowing downstream get around that roadblock  (You know me, love the difficult questions  )

I know this is only the groundwork for what is to come, and I'm looking forward to that with great interest.

Cheers

This is a bit of a departure from the norm for you, Pat, but where would SC4 be without the players who are willing to try out new ideas?

I'm with Paul on the water transition - as one with no experience whatsoever, I'm anxious to see how it turns out. I've seen a few transitions done well, but yours is quite a bit wider than any I've seen before.

And what is that "roadblock" anyway (to use Dave's word)? My guess would be something related to hydroelectric power, but I've never been very good at guessing!

Pat, I count you among the highest TPW authorities around, so I'll join the rest of your fans in watching how this latest venture turns out.

Until next time...

Very interesting. I love the river, I can't seem to use the plopable water that well.

Hey Becca: Welcome back to waterfalls and dont worry you will get it right.... Be watching here soon for some MSS & LAR 

Darn CTD's but who cares when you show such good stuff.

Now how do you make good things better? if I may how about a couple of suggestions?

Have you thought about using one of dogfights new water mods? you could seamlessly blend the real game water with the TPW and everybody would be going WOW

And for the second, how about using one of Ennedi's new slope mods. What I mean is the slope on the railway looks real good but the Ave has a nasty transition . If you ran a rail line alongside the Ave it would smooth out those sharps edges at the top of the slope.

My 2p's worth. like I said how do you make a good thing better, Watch Pat listen to constructive criticism, act on it, and come back with a better version

Till the next time
a well deserved




TTC

HI Derry: You have some wonderful thoughts there and dont worry I will spend them well  I will invest into Df's water mod and also Adam's slop mod.... I just have to remember where I hid the current slop mod Im using..  Dont worry I will have the better version here soon... I hope to see you again here bud.....

Hi Pat,

Some interesting pics there.  The transition from TPW to in-game water looks a tricky one that I've not yet attempted.  So i'm interested to see how you do it.

Looking at the banks of your TPW river........ I always feel the need to plop rocks, trees, bushes and grass just to smoothen the transition from water to grass.  But I know that you need parts of the river without all this "stuff".  You've been brave and left the banks "naked".

Great bridges by the way.

And as for that big digger driller thingy - hmmmmm, different that's for sure!

All the best - Paul

LoL Hiya's Paul: Well it wasnt my intention to leave the banks blank but it happend those where the pics that was saved before the crash lol.... I do plan on redoing the area and getting it to look real good!!! So I do hope I see you back soon Paul.....

Like that river! Looking really good!
Looking forward to more...

Hey Bat: Thank you sir and Im glad you are liking the river and I hope to have more soon for you....

very interesting, always as well make your rivers 
that announces a great update ?!

HI Warconstruct: Thank you and Im glad you like the rivers as well....

Hey Starman: Welcome to your first visit to waterfalls and I do hope to see you back for more here, and its no problem I enjoy watching you work with your city!!!!

Well Pat that is certainly different and I'll be interested to see where you go with this. How does the water flowing downstream get around that roadblock  (You know me, love the difficult questions  )

I know this is only the groundwork for what is to come, and I'm looking forward to that with great interest.

Dave

hehehehehe lol Dave: Hmmmm how about this difficult answer heehee Lets see here about that lets say there is some well placed hidding pipes that allow the water to flow under the area where they are working... I do hope to see you white is better then in black color here lol... I do hope to have you back again soon........

Pretty neat little video, and interesting to see the comment list. Did that take a long time to compile, or have you been keeping track along the way? A good selection of pictures in the last thing too. Shows a good retrospective compilation. Looking forward to seeing what all happens next.

Waterfalls 1 year old  Congratulations  on a good year so far, looking forward to the second

Wikked little vid too, nice way to pay tribute to all your fans

Thats a nicely composed pic you've used as your link to the vid and do I see a bit of "fake tilt" going on in one of the inset pics?
Well if you're going to show off why not do it in style 

Better give you this too as an anniversary type pressie
